Dear all,

We are excited to announce our upcoming online course, Art (Science) Attack, running 14-17 April.

This course bridges the gap between art and science, empowering researchers to create engaging visuals that effectively communicate their work. Using open-source software such as Krita and Inkscape, participants will learn how to design figures, project mascots, and compelling graphics for presentations, papers, and public engagement.

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/art-science-attack/

Who should attend?
Researchers, students, or anyone interested in improving how they visually communicate scientific ideas — no prior artistic experience required.

What you will learn:

Strategies to simplify complex scientific concepts into clear, attractive designs Creating logos, project mascots, and journal cover art Developing scientific schematics, one-panel figures, and outreach materials Practical training with Krita (rasters) and Inkscape (vectors)

Bring your ideas to life:
Participants are encouraged to submit a “portfolio” — this can be anything from a rough sketch to figures or visual concepts related to their projects.
